Heather's Bike Bits: September 2012
http://heverbbikeride.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Follow my progress as I start racing again. Sunday, 2 September 2012. Nothing, apart from through personal experience. And the doctors were willing to give me these drugs? That was the side effect they told me about. What they didn't tell me was that it would affect my heart rate so that I could never get it over 180, when I was 17. Okay, there may have been other factors, but it was enough for my coach at the time to persuade me to change medication. Which I did. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Heather's Bike Bits: Welcome back!
http://heverbbikeride.blogspot.com/2012/01/welcome-back.html
Follow my progress as I start racing again. Saturday, 28 January 2012. Well, after the rather long break, I'm now back to writing a blog. Firstly, I feel a lot better now that I've changed medication and have a lot more energy; secondly, the weather isn't as cold as it was this time last year. I've lost weight too, after putting some on pre-Christmas, so things are looking up. I've devised my racing calendar for this season, so I'm nearly good to go! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Heather's Bike Bits: A season over
http://heverbbikeride.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-season-over.html
Follow my progress as I start racing again. Tuesday, 28 August 2012. Well, this has been my first attempt at a racing season since changing medication and being discharged from the Chronic Fatigue clinic at the hospital. At the start of the year, I had a number of realistic aims - to lose some weight, to attempt to get on the start line and to obtain a few British Cycling licence points. I just wanted to enjoy racing like I did when I was 16 years old. So, what is the result? Only time will tell. Awesome...

Heather's Bike Bits: Tour de Korea 2012 - the forgotten race
http://heverbbikeride.blogspot.com/2012/05/tour-de-korea-2012-forgotten-race.html
Follow my progress as I start racing again. Tuesday, 1 May 2012. Tour de Korea 2012 - the forgotten race. You may have seen some of the blogs about the Tour de Korea 2012 by some of the professional riders taking part, as there were many incidents that made the headlines. However, there was also an amateur race taking place at the same time, and this is my story. Back in February/March, there was a request for female riders who were needed to attend the Tour de Korea. Yes, a big clue really. When we arri...

Heather's Bike Bits: Single file? Says who?
http://heverbbikeride.blogspot.com/2011/04/single-file-says-who.html
Follow my progress as I start racing again. Sunday, 3 April 2011. Fred and I now have VC St Raphael team kit, so the dream of racing again is slowly becoming reality! My thoughts go out to all of those women who were caught up in the carnage - I wish you all a speedy recovery. Get your facts right, people of Manchester! The best one was last week when we were in Cheshire and a bloke drove past us, saying 'Single file, that's the law, I should know - I'm a cyclist! Yeah, right, in your dreams, mate! Today...

Heather's Bike Bits: February 2012
http://heverbbikeride.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Follow my progress as I start racing again. Sunday, 19 February 2012. Tomorrow sees the return of Deloitte's involvement in the Fit for 2012 challenge. It involves a health assessment and 2.1km of either spinning, running or handbiking. Yes, you've guessed correctly, it will be the spinning for me! Good news is that my thighs are half the size they were and I have lost 13lbs since New Year. I also kept up with Fred going up a steep climb yesterday so improvements are being made. Roll on tomorrow!

Heather's Bike Bits: A return to road racing
http://heverbbikeride.blogspot.com/2012/06/return-to-road-racing.html
Follow my progress as I start racing again. Monday, 4 June 2012. A return to road racing. After my 'efforts' in South Korea, I thought that I had better put the experience to good use and enter a road race. However, I didn't fancy travelling down south to do a Team Series race, nor did I want to get my head kicked in by entering a National Series road race (I've not got the winter miles in to cope with the distance). So, what do I enter? Well, how hard could it be? We set off, and I got dropped up the se...

Heather's Bike Bits: March 2011
http://heverbbikeride.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Follow my progress as I start racing again. Sunday, 27 March 2011. And so British Summer Time arrives. Well, I must say that I was slightly worried about doing a ride today with the clocks going forward last night, heralding the beginning of British Summer Time and the onset of lighter nights - it's never good when you've missed out on sleep! The link to the ride is below:. So I've done a total of 50 miles this weekend, at an average speed of around 15 mph, not too bad! Sunday, 20 March 2011. Second fast...
